No.
The da Vinci Surgical System is described as a system to assist in the accurate control of surgical instruments for various surgical procedures, including grasping, cutting, and suturing. While these procedures are therapeutic in nature, the device itself is a tool that facilitates these procedures rather than directly providing therapy. The "da Vinci Table Motion" feature further clarifies that the device repositions the patient table and the surgical arms, which supports the surgical procedure but is not a therapeutic intervention in itself.
No
The device is described as an Endoscopic Instrument Control System and a feature for a Surgical System, intended to assist in the accurate control of surgical instruments for various surgical procedures. Its purpose is to facilitate manipulation of tissue, suturing, and placement of probes, as well as patient repositioning during surgery. There is no mention of the device performing any diagnostic functions such as detection, diagnosis, or assessment of diseases or conditions.
No
The device is described as a "software-enabled feature for the da Vinci Xi Surgical System" and involves communication with and control of a physical operating table (Trumpf Medical TS7000dV). It also mentions the da Vinci Xi system monitoring positioning and velocity and actively moving physical components (setup structure and boom). This indicates it is not solely software but interacts with and controls hardware.
Based on the provided information, the Intuitive Surgical Endoscopic Instrument Control System (da Vinci Surgical System, Model IS4000) with the da Vinci Table Motion feature is not an In Vitro Diagnostic (IVD) device.
Here's why:
- Intended Use: The intended use clearly describes the system's purpose as assisting in the control of surgical instruments for manipulating tissue during surgical procedures on patients. This is an in vivo (within a living organism) application, not an in vitro (outside of a living organism) diagnostic test performed on biological samples.
- Device Description: The description details a surgical system with robotic arms, instruments, and a feature for adjusting the operating table. This aligns with a surgical device, not a device used for analyzing biological samples.
- Lack of IVD Characteristics: The description does not mention any components or functions related to:
- Analyzing biological samples (blood, urine, tissue, etc.).
- Detecting or measuring substances in biological samples.
- Providing diagnostic information based on the analysis of biological samples.
- Performance Studies: The performance studies described focus on the safety and efficacy of the surgical system and its table motion feature during simulated and actual surgical procedures, not on the accuracy or performance of a diagnostic test.
In summary, the da Vinci Surgical System is a surgical device used for performing procedures on patients, not a device used for in vitro diagnostic testing of biological samples.

Device Description
da Vinci Table Motion is a software-enabled feature for the da Vinci Xi Surgical System. da Vinci Table Motion allows the surgical team to reposition the patient by adjusting the operating table synchronously with, but without undocking from, the Xi surgical system. Communication between the system and the table is established through IR and RF wireless signals. There is also a wired configuration if wireless is not available.
All motion commands entered by the user on the table remote control are re-directed through the da Vinci Xi system for authorization. When paired, all table remote control button presses. instead of being sent directly from the remote control to the table motion controller in the table, are forwarded to the da Vinci Xi for approval. When the da Vinci Xi determines that the system is in a safe state for table motion to occur, the button request is forwarded to the table motion controller, and motion may then occur.
To enter da Vinci Table Motion, all instrument tips must be in view and under active control by the surgeon at the console; instruments not under active surgeon control must be removed and the table feet must be locked before the system will allow table motion.
During Table Motion, the da Vinci Xi system monitors the positioning and velocity of the Trumpf Medical TS7000dV Operating Room Table. The setup joint (SUJ) brakes release and allow the arms to passively follow table movements. The setup structure and boom actively move with the table as needed to maintain relative positioning of the remote center of each arm.
Audio and visual messaging is used to guide the user during table motion. Audio cues consist of tones and voice prompts. Visual messaging on the surgeon display, vision cart touchscreen, and table remote control, informs users of table motion status. The vision cart touchscreen display includes a tabbed interface that allows the user to adjust certain system settings, view and recover from system fault conditions, and view instructions.

Summary of Performance Studies
Performance test data demonstrate that the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device and that the design output meets the design input requirements. The testing conducted consisted of software, electrical safety, EMC, human factors and simulated use in animal models.
The software testing included user interface, algorithm and software verification testing. Electrical safety and EMC testing were conducted by outside labs and in conformance to recognized standards. Multiple clinical validation studies were conducted using animal, cadaver and inanimate models. This testing included actual surgical procedures from the three surgical specialties in the indications for use statement. External surgeons were used for a portion of this testing. The clinical validation testing demonstrated clinically acceptable performance of the da Vinci Xi Surgical System with Table Motion and substantial equivalence to the predicate da Vinci Xi Surgical System.
Simulated use testing consisted of design validation testing using clinical engineers and surgeon evaluation studies using external surgeons. Design Validation testing by clinical engineers was completed across three labs utilizing one porcine model, one cadaver, and dry/inanimate models. The porcine model was used for test cases requiring live tissue interaction (such as for port site retention and trauma assessment). The cadaver was used for those test cases that required realistic human anatomy, such as for patient positioning and access and patient clearance. Inanimate models were used for those interactions that occur before or after surgery for those features and mitigations that do not affect system surgical use. Tests cases were grouped into the following categories: pairing and basic functionality, intraoperative table motion, surgical performance, foreseeable clinical misuse, egress and transport and user interactions. The da Vinci Xi Surgical System with Table Motion successfully passed all test cases. Furthermore, this testing identified no issues of safety or effectiveness and no new risks.
Surgeon evaluation testing was completed across six labs, utilizing porcines and cadavers. The porcine model was used to assess whether the IOTM method is at least as safe as the current manual method of table motion. Different procedural tasks, corresponding with changes in patient positions, formed the basis of comparison between the manual and the IOTM (subject device) method. The cadaver model was used to confirm the ability to complete surgical procedures, the ability to adequately expose tissues and organs, and the ability to maintain adequate external clearance while using IOTM. Different procedures (and target anatomies), corresponding with changes in patient positions, facilitated evaluation of the testers' ability to complete these procedures while using ITOM. Six independent, external surgeons, representing four different surgical specialties (Gynecological Oncology, Urology, Colorectal, and General Surgery), served as evaluators for the comparative assessments. Upon completion of testing, surgeon evaluators graded the safety and efficacy of performing surgery using intraoperative table motion for both the porcine and cadaveric evaluations. A Likert score (scaled from one to five, where a score of three was considered passing) was assigned for each of the attributes. The da Vinci Xi Surgical System with Table Motion successfully passed all requirements as described in the protocol. All surgeons found that the IOTM method is at least as safe as the current manual method of table motion (i.e., scored 3 or above). In addition, with an average Likert score of 4.7 or higher, surgeons confirmed the ability to complete surgical procedures, the ability to adequately expose tissues and organs, and the ability to maintain adequate external clearance while using IOTM.

Performance Data:
Performance test data demonstrate that the subject device is substantially equivalent to the predicate device and that the design output meets the design input requirements. The testing conducted consisted of software, electrical safety, EMC, human factors and simulated use in animal models.
The software testing included user interface, algorithm and software verification testing. Electrical safety and EMC testing were conducted by outside labs and in conformance to recognized standards. Multiple clinical validation studies were conducted using animal, cadaver and inanimate models. This testing included actual surgical procedures from the three surgical specialties in the indications for use statement. External surgeons were used for a portion of this testing. The clinical validation testing demonstrated clinically acceptable performance of the da Vinci Xi Surgical System with Table Motion and substantial equivalence to the predicate da Vinci Xi Surgical System.
Simulated use testing consisted of design validation testing using clinical engineers and surgeon evaluation studies using external surgeons. Design Validation testing by clinical engineers was completed across three labs utilizing one porcine model, one cadaver, and dry/inanimate models. The porcine model was used for test cases requiring live tissue interaction (such as for port site retention and trauma assessment). The cadaver was used for those test cases that required realistic human anatomy, such as for patient positioning and access and patient clearance. Inanimate models were used for those interactions that occur before or after surgery for those features and mitigations that do not affect system surgical use. Tests cases were grouped into the following categories: pairing and basic functionality, intraoperative table motion, surgical performance, foreseeable clinical misuse, egress and transport and user interactions. The da Vinci Xi Surgical System with Table Motion successfully passed all test cases. Furthermore, this testing identified no issues of safety or effectiveness and no new risks.
Surgeon evaluation testing was completed across six labs, utilizing porcines and cadavers. The porcine model was used to assess whether the IOTM method is at least as safe as the current manual method of table motion. Different procedural tasks, corresponding with changes in patient positions, formed the basis of comparison between the manual and the IOTM (subject device) method. The cadaver model was used to confirm the ability to complete surgical procedures, the ability to adequately expose tissues and organs, and the ability to maintain adequate external clearance while using IOTM. Different procedures (and target anatomies), corresponding with changes in patient positions, facilitated evaluation of the testers' ability to complete these procedures while using ITOM. Six independent, external surgeons, representing four different surgical specialties (Gynecological Oncology, Urology, Colorectal, and General Surgery), served as evaluators for the comparative assessments. Upon completion of testing, surgeon evaluators graded the safety and efficacy of performing surgery using intraoperative table motion for both the porcine and cadaveric evaluations. A Likert score (scaled from one to
6
five, where a score of three was considered passing) was assigned for each of the attributes. The da Vinci Xi Surgical System with Table Motion successfully passed all requirements as described in the protocol. All surgeons found that the IOTM method is at least as safe as the current manual method of table motion (i.e., scored 3 or above). In addition, with an average Likert score of 4.7 or higher, surgeons confirmed the ability to complete surgical procedures, the ability to adequately expose tissues and organs, and the ability to maintain adequate external clearance while using IOTM.
Human Factors and Usability Testing:
The Human Factor engineering process, culminating in usability validation studies, was utilized to identify and assess the use-related risks associated with da Vinci Xi Surgical System with Table Motion. The safety and usability of the da Vinci Xi Surgical System with Table Motion was assessed to ensure residual risk is at acceptable levels, and that the use-safety of the system has not diminished in comparison to the non-integrated process of moving the operating table during da Vinci surgeries. Two summative usability validation studies were conducted with users (surgeons, operating room staff, and anesthesiologists) for the da Vinci Xi Surgical System with Table Motion. A simulated OR environment including equipment and sound provided realistic conditions for the testing. The studies involved typical workflow scenarios, as well as certain troubleshooting scenarios related to safety-critical tasks.
A minimum of fifteen surgical teams with surgeons from different surgical specialties (urology, gynecology, general surgery and colorectal) participated in each summative study. A surgeon, operating staff, and an anesthesiologist comprised a surgical team. Each participant received hands-on training prior to conducting testing. Users performed essential tasks including identification of compatible equipment, pairing of system and table, activating table motion, moving the table using the table remote, and troubleshooting scenarios. Data collected included both objective performance data and subjective feedback from participants. Objective performance data included observations of users' ability to complete tasks, use-errors, close calls, and any difficulties encountered. Subjective feedback included open-ended questions about risks and safety, multiple choice ratings, and follow-up interviews. Results of the validation studies and the other elements of the human factors engineering program provided evidence that the da Vinci Xi Surgical System with Table Motion is safe and effective when used by the intended users in the intended use environment. .
Summary:
Based on the intended use, indications for use, technological characteristics, and performance data, the da Vinci Xi Surgical System with Table Motion is substantially equivalent to the currently marketed da Vinci Xi Surgical System device, cleared under K131861.
